Audra Mclaughlin vs. Megan Ruger - The Voice 2014 - The Climb - Video

Audra Mclaughlin and Megan Ruger sang "The Climb" on The Voice 2014 Season 6 Battle Round for Team Blake Shelton.

Preparation

Blake says that both girls occupy the same sort of niche on his team, and so one will have to go. They show the girls their battles as a way of illustrating why he picked them. He then gives the girls a short list of songs to choose from, leading to a lot of hemming and hawing as the singers have to choose on their own, coming to an agreement. Ultimately, they settle on “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus.

Coach Comments

	Adam Levine: Adam feels Audra is one of the best vocalists in the entire competition, but says that Megan was able to hang with her on the big notes, which means this is going to be a tough one for Blake.
	Shakira: Shakira feels Audra connected to the lyrics of the song, and admits that while Megan was more “technically accurate,” she felt a deeper connection to Audra’s vocal.
	Usher: Usher said it was a rough start for Megan, but she recovered nicely. He adds that he expected Audra to stumble but she never did, so he would award the round to her.
	Blake Shelton: Blake agrees, arguing that Audra is an outstanding vocalist, but noting that he identifies more with Megan.
